“Nasuni has an impressive team and a culture of innovation that’s built a disruptive cloud-native file data platform like nothing else on the market, which is proven by their business results,” said Agresta. “I saw firsthand at Pure the need for a new way to approach file data storage and protection, and customers wanted cloud services. The legacy storage players like NetApp and Dell are unable to keep up with market demands. Nasuni has a proven product already being used by the world’s largest enterprises and whose value to the enterprise is crystal clear. I’m excited to join Nasuni and help drive its next phase of growth.”

Users can also choose any cloud provider and even combine them into a multi-cloud strategy, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
In 2022, Nasuni introduced new capabilities including Ransomware Protection and Nasuni Access Anywhere add-on services to address market demand for data security and hybrid work.
